Chapter 35 Shadow Warrior

The stick skills Jiang Feng displayed in the arena did not look complicated, let alone fancy.

Gao Fei, a martial arts layman, couldn't understand the subtlety of her moves. It seemed that her moves were just a little faster than ordinary people, and the attack angles were a little trickier.

However, with such simple and unpretentious stick skills, he could easily knock down the powerful tauren without even letting the other party touch the corners of his clothes. Perhaps this is the so-called simplicity and return to nature.

The only thing Gao Fei could see was that Jiang Feng used a stick as a lever to trip up the Minotaur in the lightning flash. Such a skillful technique was unlikely to be a spur-of-the-moment move, and he had probably practiced this move specifically.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that no wonder Jiang Feng chose the specialty of "Proficient in Trips". If this trick is used skillfully, it will be really abnormal!

Gao Fei remembered another thing. When joking around, Jiang Feng often said, "Take my stick."

I used to think that she was playing the meme cosplay "Sun Dasheng three fights the white-bone demon", but now I know that's not the case. One day, Jiang Daxia was angered and really took a blow from her. My small body is far worse than that of a tauren. I'm afraid. I can't bear it...

Quietly wiping away his cold sweat, Gao Fei put aside this dangerous thought and instead imagined that he would be the one to fight in the arena. He might not be able to muster up the courage to face the ferocious tauren from a first-person game perspective.

If a turn-based battle mode is adopted, the gladiatorial battle becomes a tabletop game of comparing data. Unless you are extremely lucky, you will most likely end up tragically killed by the tauren's giant axe.

Jiang Feng entered the battle from a first-person perspective, faced the menacing tauren, and finally won without any injuries. Gao Fei could only think that Jiang Feng's "human performance" as a gamer was too abnormal. He provided Sumo with hidden bonuses on both offense and defense that were difficult to quantify using data.

After tonight's gladiatorial game, Rubio Lopez came to the locker room with his giant attendants to congratulate Sumo on another wonderful victory.

After a few polite words, Master Rubio proposed an unexpected deal to the arena owner - he would pay for Somo's deed of sale.

Of course Abdullah Ismail did not dare to offend the young baron and the majority shareholder of the arena, but he still complained sadly that Master Rubio had stolen his cash cow. After some bargaining, he finally settled the deal for 2,000 gold coins. .

After learning that he had changed from a gladiator to a valet of the Lopez family, Somo seemed a little overwhelmed. He asked the new owner uneasily why he spent such a large sum of money to buy him?

At the same time, a dialog box popped up on Jiang Feng's operating interface, asking her to make a DC10 "insight" test.

By passing the test, you can identify Master Rubio's true intentions and see whether the other party's answer is sincere.

Jiang Feng's monk has not yet learned the "insight" skill. Fortunately, the perception attribute is as high as 18, which provides a +4 correction for the insight check.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the test difficulty is only 10 points, Rubio Lopez does not seem to have any intention to deceive.

After successfully passing the test, Master Rubio answered Somo's questions with a smile.

"I paid to redeem your body, mainly because your figure and appearance are somewhat similar to mine. What's more valuable is that you have good kung fu and can serve as my 'stand-in' with a little makeup."

Master Rubio's so-called "stand-in" is a special servant kept by the noble lords. When necessary, he disguises himself as the master and goes out in public to help the master create alibi. Activities that do not match one's status, such as private meetings with a friend's wife or an emissary from an enemy country.

In addition, the noble's "substitute" also has a very important mission, which is to appear on behalf of the master in some more dangerous situations where he may be assassinated. When necessary, he will sacrifice his own life to mislead the assassin and prevent disaster for the master.

Such a substitute is also called a "shadow warrior".

Regardless of whether Sumo is willing or not, he has to accept the new identity imposed on him by Master Rubio.

To take a step back, being a "shadow warrior" for a noble young master is certainly not a decent job, but at least it is much better than staying in the arena and fighting monsters, living a life of precarious life with the blade licking blood.

In this way, Somo bid farewell to the arena and followed Master Rubio back to the Lopez family's manor to start a new life.

The third chapter of "The Foreigners in the Vast Sea" has come to an end. Jiang Feng finally received the astrolabe prompt - completed the plot milestone, and the astrolabe energy +1 (6/6)!

After defeating the lion and the tauren warrior successively, Somo accumulated enough experience points and was promoted to level 4 Yangyan monk.

After this upgrade, Soma's upper limit of health is +8 (35/35), and 1 additional attribute has been added.

Jiang Feng added the new attribute points to his perception. After all, perception is the main attribute of a monk, and the capacity of the qi pool and the defense level of the body's protective energy all depend on perception.

The 4th-level Sunfire monk learns two new class abilities.

The first is the "fighting attack". As long as the monk's qi pool is not empty, the true qi can be permanently injected into the fists and feet. Unarmed attacks are regarded as magic weapons and can penetrate certain monsters with specific damage-reducing armor, such as Captain Kos who transforms into a corpse demon.

The second new ability is "Scorching Glory". It costs 6 points of infuriating energy to convert into pure energy. It turns into a blazing beam of light and shoots out from the palm of the hand, bombarding enemies a hundred feet away. It will cause 10d6 radiant damage after hitting it. If the target cannot pass Fortitude save and temporarily blinded.

"Scorching Radiance" has another special effect, which can cause double damage to undead creatures or creatures like dark elves that are naturally afraid of sunlight!

After Su Mo mastered this unique skill, he will not lack long-range attack methods in the future, and his combat power has made a qualitative leap.

After reaching level 4, the "Sword Belt" completes the first-level synchronization. Now the weapon turned into this belt has a +1 enchantment level.

This time Jiang Feng achieved the achievement of passing the level without reloading the game, and received a specialty reward. As usual, he still chose one of the three.

"Strong", "Powerful Attack" and "Nervous Action", the first two are self-explanatory, only "Nervous Action" is a new one.

...

Nervous Action: Spend one bonus action each round to perform actions such as "Retreat", "Sprint" or "Hide".

Retreat: Perform the Retreat action to avoid opportunity attacks while moving.

Sprint: Perform the Sprint action to double the movement speed of this round.

Hide: Perform the Hide action to lurk in dark areas. Unless the enemy's "passive awareness" is higher than your stealth check, they will not be aware of your presence.
